External Recognition Agenda Day 9

The final week of the DFI course! Day 9

What has worked for me over the last week?

I used the Deep dive into Tech resources useful to encourage and invite my students to choose Digital Technology as an option for next year. The video resources were a great hook as well as the slide that showed which jobs did not exist in the past 10 years. The Google Educator level 1 slide deck was useful in brushing up on the skills in preparation for the exam.

Today - Friday 24th is the day of the Google Certified Teacher Level 1 examination. I have looked over the slides provided by DFI, so watch this space!

Level 1 slides

This was a 3-hour exam, I have to say I did thoroughly revise and this paid off. I managed to complete the examination in 42 minutes and passed! I am officially a Google Certified Teacher.
